After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

"I think the young master Zhou Yuan from the Duke's Mansion is quite good. He is about the same age as Ning'er, handsome, and has a good family background. More importantly, the master has always been on good terms with Duke Zhou. Why not take this opportunity to become closer to the Duke's Mansion, wouldn't that be better?"

Lin Cheng pondered and felt that what Wang said made sense.

The Duke's Mansion is the support of the Third Prince's mother's family, and they dote on Zhou Yuan, a late-born son. By establishing a marriage relationship with them, on the one hand, they can win over the Duke's Mansion, and on the other hand, they can also establish a relationship with the Third Prince. If he decides to stand on the side of the Third Prince in the future, he will have more say.

Kill two birds with one stone.

The warmth in his eyes suddenly surged up again, and he smiled and said, "Yes, you are still thoughtful. I will find an opportunity to mention it to Duke Zhou. It's getting late, you should go to bed early, I still have some things to deal with."

"Isn't the master staying here?"

"No," Lin Cheng frowned, "I've been too busy these days."

Wang held his hand distressedly, trying to keep her, but he avoided her calmly, saying "Have a good rest" and left.

The house suddenly became quiet again.

Wang sat on the drum stool in a daze, stroking the teacup used by Lin Cheng, feeling the residual warmth left on it.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Nanny Song's voice sounded cautiously: "Madam, the master has gone to He's room again."

With a "bang", Wang threw the teacup in her hand out like crazy and yelled hysterically: "Get out! Get out!"

How many times has he used such ridiculous excuses to fool her? She couldn't understand what was so good about that bitch He that made him so obsessed with her.

Wang's face was covered with tears and she smiled sadly.

It was all her fault. She thought the third baby would be a boy, but it turned out to be a girl. The little warmth that Lin Cheng had given her during that period disappeared without a trace. If she could have given birth to a son, Lin Cheng would never treat her like this, and He Shi would not have taken advantage of her.

It's all Lin Shuning's fault! If she were a man, how could she end up like this?

……

The next morning, Lin Shuning got up early.

Perhaps Lin Cheng felt that her attire brought shame to the Shangshu Mansion, so he sent someone to send her a few dresses.

Lin Shuning chose the most low-key color, asked the maid who delivered the clothes to help her change into it, and then went straight to the warehouse, where she happened to meet Butler Liu.

As soon as Butler Liu saw her, he knew why she came, and immediately took out fifty taels of silver from the warehouse and put it in Lin Shuning's hand.

When Lin Shuning saw the silver, his eyes lit up.

She put the silver away and asked, "Butler Liu, do you know where the slave market is?"

In the original owner's memory, the slave trade was allowed in this dynasty, and the market was very prosperous. There were even people who sold themselves in order to enter the mansions of wealthy families and live a good life.

"On the south side of the main street, Miss Third, just walk south along the main street and you will see the plaque of the slave market. But there are many people there, so Miss Third has to be careful and guard against being targeted by thieves." Butler Liu reminded.

Lin Shuning waved his hand: "Don't worry, even if you lose me, the money won't be lost. Let's go!"

Butler Liu opened his mouth, but before he could say that he was worried about Lin Shuning, he saw the girl in front of him leaving a graceful figure and then she was gone.

After leaving the house, Lin Shuning went straight to the slave market as Butler Liu had said.

She walked along the south side of the main street for a long time, and as expected, she saw a plaque hanging high on the wall.

The four big words "Slave Market" are particularly eye-catching.

Lin Shuning walked in and was surprised to find that there were more people in the slave market than on the main street. On both sides of the road, a row of strong men were kneeling, and in front of each of them was a wooden sign with age, price, background, etc. written on it.

Many people stopped in front of them, bargaining with the sellers.

Lin Shuning was not disgusted by this. After all, it was a feature of the times. However, as a modern person, she used to fall asleep when listening to the teacher talking in history class. Now that she had really seen it with her own eyes, she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

She continued to walk inside, looking at the surrounding buildings as she walked. To her surprise, there were not only teahouses, martial arts halls, and pharmacies, but also brothels and gambling houses.

Whatever is available on the main street, is available here; and whatever is not available on the main street, is also available here.

It's like a more lively replica of the Imperial City Street.

"You stupid girl, I was willing to spend five taels of silver to buy you back because I was attracted by your beauty. Now a master wants to buy you to live in his mansion and enjoy the good life, but you dare to run away when you don't want to! I will beat you to death today!"

At this moment, a shouting voice attracted Lin Shuning's attention.

Lin Shuning looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thinly clothed, skinny girl being pushed to the ground. The man standing next to her kicked her mercilessly, one kick after another.

Presumably to avoid leaving wounds and bruises, he kicked the girl's abdomen with such force that after just a few kicks, the girl vomited blood and sweat covered her pale face.

A group of people gathered around to watch the fun and said, "This kind of bastard who runs away must be severely punished, otherwise he will never learn his lesson!"

"Beat him! Beat him hard. I'll pay you five taels of silver. If you kill me, I'll give you ten more taels!"

Someone in the crowd threw some silver coins at the man's feet. The man quickly squatted down, picked up all the silver coins and put them in his arms, rubbing his hands in a flattering manner and said, "Sir, just wait and see. I'm going to beat this damn girl to death to bring you good luck today!"

After saying that, he looked ferocious, and he gathered his strength and raised his foot to kick, but the girl suddenly grabbed the man's calf and bit it.

"what!"

The man was caught off guard and immediately screamed in pain, punching and hitting the girl, but no matter how hard he pushed her, the girl held on to him tightly and refused to let go.

The shouts in the crowd became even more excited: "This woman is so powerful, boss, I think these slaves will ride on your head in the future hahahahaha..."

Hearing the ridicule, the man's expression became more and more ugly.

"Oh shit!"

He spat fiercely, pulled out the dagger from his waist and was about to stab the girl's neck.

Lin Shuning frowned and shouted, "Stop! You're killing people in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid that the government will come and arrest you?"

As soon as he said this, the man paused and looked straight at Lin Shuning with a cold gaze. He and the group of people who were watching the fun also looked over, and everyone had suspicion and ridicule in their eyes.

Someone snorted coldly and said in a nonchalant manner: "Another rookie who comes here for the first time and doesn't know the rules of the slave market. Let me tell you, this place is not under the control of the government. These people are here to entertain the nobles. The nobles pay and they have the final say on whether they live or die. If you can't stand it, then pay more money, otherwise you can go to the cold place!"

Lin Shuning was startled, with dark currents surging in his eyes.

She originally thought that this slave market was just a place for buying and selling slaves, but she didn't expect it to be so cruel and dark.

She raised her eyes and met the girl's gaze. The girl's black eyes were as clear as water. Her red eyes were slightly curved, and her eyes were filled with despair and pleading.

Lin Shuning felt a slight movement in his heart.

The person who had just paid the silver was already impatient and said sarcastically, "If you can't pay, get out of here and don't delay me from watching the show!"

"That's right. Judging from the way she's dressed, she doesn't look like a lady from a wealthy family. Why is she pretending to be a bodhisattva here? Pah!"

Amid the contemptuous gazes of the crowd, Lin Shuning sighed lightly.
